Better Than Crack...Brownies

September truly flew by this year.  With school in full force and work busier than ever, I've been trying to plan our meals a little better rather than relying on the great chefs of the Big O! to feed my family.  I'm truly hit or miss when it comes to cooking.  This week Kris asked, begged, pleaded that I start following the recipes.  When I make something, I'll {generally} measure the ingredients in addition to substituting an item or two.  I don't know what it is, but in the back of my mind I'm thinking, "Oh, this would be so much better with garlic salt." or "I love cinnamon, I should add four times as much because it is so yummy."  I stumbled upon a recipe called Better Than Crack Brownies--of course I had to try it.  Sometimes I like to try things just because of the name.  I mean, come on, doesn't it only make sense?  Meatloaf...blah, blech, something Alice used to make for the Brady kids.  Now, chicken Florentine...exotic, interesting, I've got to try it!  Don't even get me started on Better Than Sex cake.  I must say it's interesting how our culture has changed...Better Than Sex?  Better Than Crack?  Lord, knows what will be next.

Below you'll see some of my hits and misses...wait, that's probably more like one hit and several misses.  You be the judge.

Banana muffins - I've usually never had a problem with these, but this time they turned out concave??? 
Oh, yes...I only had one egg.  Apparently eggs are very important in a baking recipe.

Half pineapple/half pepperoni homemade pizza...not too great.

I felt I redeemed myself with this homemade pizza gem...fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, veggies, etc.
 "Delicious!" I declared. 
"Disgusting!" according to my family.

Better Than Crack Brownies...brownie base, peanuts, peanut butter cups,
topped with a peanut buttery, chocolate rice krisipie topping.
